Mager Enterprises is a full service water and fire restoration company, servicing all of central Indiana. With our many years in business we’ve seen a lot of home floods and water damage that may have been avoided. No amount of preparation can eliminate all flood risk, but we can take precautions to mitigate water damage.

1) Turn off the main water supply when you go on vacation. If the main water supply can not be interrupted, you may also consider shutting off individual water supplies to each major appliance.
2)Replace supply lines to home appliances, toilets, and sinks with braided steel lines. Braided steel lines do carry a manufacturer’s warranty. They are much more reliable than regular copper lines.

3)Turn off all outside spigots and remove water hoses. When water freezes it expands, and this causes a big risk to your pipes. Don’t let outside spigots stay active in near freezing weather.

4) Make sure your gutters are free from debris and clogs. A clogged gutter could cause ice damns and water damage by causing water to pool under shingles. This could result in water getting into the structure of your home.

Follow these tips to help prevent water damage and floods. Call the experts at Mager Enterprises for all your water restoration needs.
